We have arrived at our new home for the next 3 months. We spent 10 days at Buddy Gregg's repair campground. We were surrounded by huge double axle rigs. We tried not to feel like poor relatives! Finally we got our microwave, tv, and speaker taken care of and drove to Raccoon Valley. After setting up we went to the office for a brief overview of our duties. After supper and a trip to WalMart we noticed that our lights were dim. Then our fridge wasn't working! Duane discovered that the drain tube to the outside was coiled up inside. As soon as he put it where it belonged, the fridge started working again. Good thing, too, since I just filled it! Next we discovered our 12 volt charger isn't working. After digging around in the bowels of our nose storage, Duane finally found it, but can't figure out why it isn't charging our battery. So we rely on our little tabletop plug in lamps for light and hope for nice breezes or run the air since our vent fans don't work. Hopefully he can get hold of a knowledgeable tech tomorrow.

Today was our first day at work. The managers here, Millie and Greg Small, are very nice and very easy to work for and with. They were around in the morning, but since Fridays are supposed to be their day off, they took off the afternoon. No problem. After Livingston, this place is nice and uncomplicated. Right now there isn't much activity, so Duane spent the morning putting together bookcases, and I spent the afternoon arranging the library and game shelves.

We are glad to be settled in and all set up. It is nice to sit at our computer desk and use the big monitor and keyboard, and to do office work with everything at our fingertips. Hopefully we won't have to pack everything up for another trip to Buddy Greggs, but that would be another blog!
